<p>A fabricated article made from two or more discrete sections of a single composite board. The composite board has a planar core with opposing first and second flat sides and a coating of solidified, cement-like mortar disposed on at least one side of the core. The coating has a reinforcement layer disposed therein. Form one or more shapes or cuts in the board that extend through one first side of the core and any coating thereon (with embedded reinforcement layer) and through the second side of the core, but not through the coating and reinforcement layer of the second side. Fabricate the article by bending the two or more discrete sections at the shape or cut and joining them in a fixed position by applying an adhesive to the shape or cut. Alternately, pieces of core, or pieces of core with coating, and, optionally, reinforcement, can be adhesively joined. One can also apply a coating of cement-like mortar, optionally, with an embedded reinforcement to the joined pieces.</p> |
